An LP, not a CD (unless it has been reissued).
Not dixieland either, judging from the instrumentation.
Ronnie Ross (1933-1991) was born in Calcutta of Scottish parents.
A modernist who played alto, tenor and clarinet, but specialised on baritone sax.
Worked with (among many) Ted Heath, Woody Herman's Anglo-American Herd, Ronnie Scott, MJQ, John Dankworth, Kenny Clarke, Stan Tracy and own quartet/sextet.
Kind regards,
Bill.
